Phoenix Contact 0442082 Terminal Block Ground Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0442082 is a 2-position ground terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 6-24 AWG (0.5-16 mm²). This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production. The CLIPLINE USLKG series connector features screw termination with a 10.2 mm terminal width and supports 57 A current per IEC standards. Due to its Last Time Buy status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0442082 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions & Levels: Must be 2 positions, 1 level
• Terminal Width: Must be 10.2 mm for mechanical compatibility
• Termination Style: Must be screw termination
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 57 A per IEC standards
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate the required wire gauge range
• Insulation Material & Flammability: Must maintain UL94 V-0 rating
• Color Coding: Must be Green, Yellow for ground/earth applications
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance

The Phoenix Contact 3044173 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the wire gauge range differs (6-20 AWG versus 6-24 AWG), the 6-20 AWG range encompasses the majority of standard applications and maintains all other critical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044173 is the designated substitute for the 0442082. The primary advantage of this substitution is the Active product status of the 3044173, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

Both components maintain identical electrical performance (57 A IEC current rating), mechanical compatibility (10.2 mm terminal width, 2-position configuration), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0 flammability rating). The wire gauge range difference (6-20 AWG for the substitute versus 6-24 AWG for the original) represents a minor constraint applicable only to applications requiring wire gauges larger than 20 AWG.

The 3044173 operates within the CLIPLINE UT series, which is the active production line for this connector family. Selection of the 3044173 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications where wire gauge requirements fall within the 6-20 AWG specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3044173 be used as a direct replacement for the 0442082?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges 6-20 AWG. Both components share identical terminal width (10.2 mm), position count (2), current rating (57 A), termination method (screw), and insulation material specifications. The 3044173 is suitable for direct substitution in existing designs that do not require wire gauges larger than 20 AWG.

Q: What is the wire gauge limitation of the substitute part?

A: The Phoenix Contact 3044173 supports wire gauges 6-20 AWG (0.5-16 mm²), whereas the original 0442082 supports 6-24 AWG. Applications requiring 22 or 24 AWG wire termination must use the original part number or identify alternative solutions.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting the 3044173 for the 0442082?

A: No. Both components feature identical terminal width (10.2 mm), position configuration (2 positions, 1 level), and screw termination design. Mechanical mounting and wire connection procedures are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and safety standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0442082 and 3044173 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both use Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation material and maintain identical electrical performance specifications.

Q: Why is the 3044173 preferred over the 0442082?

A: The 3044173 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing and supply availability. The 0442082 is Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production. For new designs and long-term applications, the 3044173 provides supply chain continuity.
